Construction Detour Impacting Hospice Halifax Until December 2026 (click for details)
Help more patients and families feel the warmth of Hospice care
When Katherine began to feel too cold to leave her personal room at Hospice, she had to miss the music sessions she loved in the lounge room. She joked that she could start going again if George Clooney was there to keep her warm.
With the creativity of Hospice staff and a special delivery, Katherine was ready and excited to play music and sing, wrapped in a custom George Clooney blanket made just for her.
It was personal, silly, and perfectly Katherine. It gave her another reason to laugh while she continued to enjoy something she loved.
What is Hospice Care?
Hospice palliative care means providing opportunities for patients and families to uniquely address practical, physical, emotional, and spiritual needs while preparing for the patient’s death.
Every year, Hospice Halifax welcomes approximately 150 terminally ill patients facing the end of life, including vulnerable seniors, people living with physical disabilities, and people who are precariously housed.
